Reviewing one's mission statement

Blue Salt


What is it that makes you feel alive?

This is Adam. Adam makes life worth waking up for. See the necklace that I am wearing? Adam gave that to me. Ironically we bought the chain for that pendant on the same day as my engagement ring was bought... but that is another story. The pendant is a heart made of amber, purchased during Adam's last week in Russia. His mom told him to wait and give the heart to someone who could take care of it, or something along those lines. And when Adam gave this to me, I felt a responsibility more precious than life. Each day I wear a symbol of Adam's love for me, and each day I love him back.

From small town cheater to big town thief

As many of you know, Adam and I cheat. We cheat while playing croquet. We cheat while playing Uno. We cheat with our family members at miniature golf (despite the fact that cheating often brought our scores down).

We have recently joined a bigger league. Yesterday, while shopping for patterns and fabrics for the flower girls, we made a big step. As we were waiting for the lady to cut out two yards, I nonchalantly chatted Adam's ear off. We got in line at the cash register, and as the customer in front of us paid and left, we followed behind. We left the store without paying for the merchandise. When did we realize what we had done? As we pulled up to my house, Adam asked, "how much were those patterns?" And I realized that I had no clue. I told him that he must have paid... we couldn't have just left the store without paying!!!

Oh, but we did.
